This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

A great day out
I spent most of today walking the next section of the River Thames on my walk from the barrier back to its source.

Today we walked from Oxford to Eynsham, not far but hard enough with two kids under 5 one on my back and the other in an all terrain pram! There were huge steely grey skies with the river winding its way beneath them like a ribbon of liquid pewter. As we came to the end of our stretch the setting winter sun turned the pewter to gold and this was quickly followed by the biggest moon I've seen for ages.
